The moss stitch

To create the moss stitch, you will need to know how to do a single crochet (SC) stitch. To do a single crochet, insert your hook, yarn over (YO) and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops.

The pattern for the moss stitch is as follows:

Chain 110 (or any even number) with your first colour. Start in the 4th chain from the hook, and work 1 SC, chain 1 (CH 1). Then skip 1 chain, and work 1 SC, CH 1 into the next chain. Continue this sequence of skip 1, SC, CH 1, until you reach the end of the chain. On the last chain, work 1 SC and pull through with your second colour before finishing the stitch. Then chain 2 and turn. Cut the first colour, leaving about a 6-inch tail.

The next row is worked in the second colour. Work 1 row of the moss stitch: work the first SC underneath the chain 1 space. Then chain one, skip over the SC of the row below and work the next SC underneath the chain space. Continue the pattern of SC, CH 1 into each chain space of the row below. The last SC should be worked into the space between the CH 2 turning chain and SC from the previous row. When you reach the end of the row, pull through with the first colour. Chain 2 and turn.

Repeat this process, alternating colours at the end of each row.

To finish the blanket, weave in all ends before starting the border. Pull up a loop in any corner and chain 2. Work the moss stitch (SC, CH 1, skip 1) around the outside of the blanket (on the sides, insert your hook every other row). Work 3 SCs into each corner. When you reach the corner you started with, slip stitch into the start stitch, then chain 2 and turn. Work one more round of the moss stitch around the edge of the blanket. When you reach the corner you started with, slip stitch into the starting stitch and tie off.
